After sparring seven rounds earlier this week at the Joe Greer Boxing Academy in Paterson, NJ, ‘Sixhead’, as usual, went to the locker room, went to the freezer, reached for his bottle of coconut water. "The glass bottle exploded," said Nelson Fernandez, manager of Lewis.
"We were in the training area, heard a scream, walked in and Six was cut. "He drinks coconut water every day after training. He puts the bottle in the freezer, trains, pulls the bottle out - now this.
“We can't believe it!" Nelson said Lewis needed nine stitches to close a wound on the palm of the left hand. "Six should be OK to go again, in maybe four weeks," Nelson said. (Fightnews.com)
